Below we have provided a breakdown of the deaths reported by the three hospital trusts operating in Berkshire.

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust – 337 (no increase)
Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust – 173 (one new death)
Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust - 17 (no new death)
It is important to note that some of Berkshire's NHS trusts operate hospitals outside of the county, for example Frimley Park Hospital, which is in Surrey.

This means it is difficult to give an accurate total of the number of deaths in Berkshire alone.

They are Frimley Health, Royal Berkshire and Berkshire Healthcare trusts.
